The WSJ conclusion: "If married men are smart, they'll work on boosting their wives' marital satisfaction. And altruism needn't motivate them; self-interest is reason enough."

    I am thinking it is a 2 way street. This article makes it sound all one sided and I do not believe that is the recipe for a happy marriage.

    The picture attached to this article is ridiculous. lol And I want a definition of "marital satisfaction".
    " It found that married men tend to be a lot happier when their wives rate their marriage more highly—even if the men don't rate the marriage very highly themselves. Women, conversely, were only modestly happier when their husbands had higher marital satisfaction."
    Um..What????
